Quoting: PatolaIt even raises awareness that such motto exists.
That's baffling. What's next? Will Proton be the #FinalSolution for playing games on Linux? Look, I raised awareness to the Holocaust!
No you didn't (or rather wouldn't if tweeted). You'd make fun of 6 million murdered people by using an euphemism used solely by the Nazi for their genocide. That's not raising awareness. That's just plain stupid. Or vile. I get triggered on that since I hear such "funny quotes" much more frequently in recent times, both from "normal people" and politicians.
So you're completely ignoring the context...

Quoting: the3dfxdudeLame alternatives
* Can't Disappear -- sounds too similar to the movement
* Stop the Delete -- still thinking there is a political bogeyman behind it
* No Locking Us Out -- now we are starting to hit some irony and still not too different

Quoting: PatolaThis is illogical.
It's perfectly logical. It's exactly what happened. You really don't seem to grasp that.

Quoting: the3dfxdudeBut why highlighting it publicly by people that are very biased against GOG is a good thing? They already apologized. Nothing more needs to be said. The only purpose this articles serves is to create division, and that is not gaming-related. The gaming theme is a false backdrop.
Did you miss the fact that Liam brought this only up to offer an explanation for why Hinterland dropped GOG? That's what the article is about.

Quoting: 14We all, at least in the U.S., say we like free speech, right? Isn't using an arbitrary hashtag the wild-wild West style of free speech that people say they want?
What does one thing have to do with the other? You're free to speak. You can say what you want, but don't expect everybody to be happy with what you said. That's exactly what's happening here.

Quoting: PatolaIt is a positive message, a message of resistence from opression.
You're missing the point.

Quoting: PatolaYour pretend-joke is nothing like the case.
That was no joke. That was basically what you said.

Quoting: PatolaWhy can't you see that?
Why can't you see that the use of this slogan makes light of situation? People fight for their rights. They jumped on the bandwagon to promote themselves. It was an idiotic move.

Quoting: LeopardBut how is that inappopriate? There is no attack / hostility in that tweet.

I think GOG even made a supportive move about that hashtag. Since that hashtag is about something identity related ,
old games in gaming industry also have a problem with it. They're facing all kind of issues , either company that made these games is not caring about them anymore and there is no way to legitly purchase them or company is not caring about game anymore and people who owned that game cannot enjoy with them without going some hoops in order to run them on modern systems.

Literally , GOG also represents gaming side of #WontBeErased
How can you not recognize the issue at hand? Just because it's no attack doesn't mean it was a good idea. And how in the world can you describe this as a supportive move? That doesn't help anybody. Throwing the preservation of games in the same pot as human rights... seriously?

Quoting: LeopardIs hashtags are proprietary things now?

I think GOG didn't do any wrong with it , just usual SJW's trying to attack everyone who doesn't agree with them or just not giving actual care what they're doing.
Of course hashtags aren't proprietary, but don't pretend that there was no given context. They used it at the very moment the situation became an issue. To use it was just dumb.

Quoting: GuestHow could anyone even interpret that as something political or bad? And why should anyone give a single fuck about what people who are dumb and autistic enough to be triggered by that think?
It was tasteless, because the issue the hashtag was about is rather serious. (Ab)using something like this to promote yourself is dumb. That has nothing to do with SJW or whatever... just human decency. And do you even know what autistic means?
